Hi Eveyrone:

I've got a bunch of Fuji ANW-series lathes that use Fanuc 0i-Td controllers. These are twin-spindle lathes that have totally independent sides, left and right.

I want to import compensation data to my machine and then use it to adjust my wear offset, essentially making a localized workshift.

The thing is, my software allows me to write to the macro variables, (for example, #500), but I don't know how to tell the left-side #500 from the right-side #500.

I'm assuming they are at different addresses in the overall NC memory map; after all, the controller knows when the LS calls #500 not to use the RS value.

My question is how can I find out the memory locations of these different registers. We need to make sure the compensation value goes into the correct side's #500, or we'll end up making a mess of it all.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

open up the Macros and use #500 left side and #600 right side same as tool offsetts ----Even one head and odd on the other so you know what side you are offsetting
